His teaching philosophy emphasizes "Demand Understanding" and making physics engaging through exploration of the material world's puzzles.
- B.Sc. in Physics and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Edinburgh
Griffiths focuses on active student participation, using evidence-based concept development and small class sizes to foster trust in students' critical thinking. He highlights communication as vital for internalizing technical language and taking ownership of knowledge. Labs play a central role in his pedagogy, enabling:
- Exploration and hands-on theoretical modeling
- Measurement diagrams and error estimation
- Development of scale perception and graphical analysis
His approach cultivates students' ability to apply physics concepts in future careers through problem-solving ownership and conceptual belief.
